They walked solemnly into the parlor,
the door of which Johnny had proudly
thrown open, and seating themselves in
black row against the wall, rigidly
awaited the appearance of one Of the

The door opened, and there entered a
portly, pleasant-faced old lady, who smil.

They all simultaneously started to then
feet, with various amazed exclamations
'Why, the lands sake"
'Have mercy on us!"
"Why Mrs. Cole!"
The old lady stopped short, looking al
most as surprised and bewildered as tht
visitors.
A dead silence ensued, then all looked
from Mrs. Cole at each other.
''It seems there has been a mistake, ,

opportunely entered, having stopped
outside to fasten his horses.
His wife nudged him, but he was be

AS to Master Tommy, his delight knew

TO MOTHER

In my heart tender song
Has been sounding very long,
For It's tones so wondrous sweet
Were the first my ears to greet,
And shall be the last TO roll
Over my departing soul;
Twas heard in hours Of pain
Fne in patience for my gain,
y gas sung TO hush my cries,
lt Tas shown in loving eyes,
II was taught my lisping tongue,
And | would it might be sung
Sweet as angels sing above
The pure song of mothers loveI
Mother'Aovel Oh, who shall measure
All the meanings this may treasured
Weary years Of toll and sorrow,
Hopes the sinking heart would borrow,
Prayers that rise through seas Of tears,
Fond devotion fringed with fears,
Self-denial, asking none,
Faith, whose course is never run
Mothers love- it never quails,
Till at last the great soul fails,
And the trembling hands are dropped,
And the dauntless heart is stopped
Then in vain regret we pine
For that mothers love divine.
Omy mother! now to you
May my gratitude be true.
Summer has been full Of storm,
Winter now enfolds your form,
And your head begins to show
Traces Of the falling snow,
Yet would each care erase
From that dear familiar face,
Bring your eyes the happy glow
or your childhood long ago,
Be one child who did not wait
To return before too late
Mothers love, kiss, and caress,
All her latest days TO bless.

acquisition of wealth he was timid and

fondness- a passion-for sitting

It is by no means easy to tell what

Hall in the New York World. know
little chap who inherited a vast fortune
on Monday and developed hot-blooded
craze for variegated waistcoats within
the week He would wander about his
accustomed haunts with distraught and
expectant look for days at time. We
knew by that that something new in
wastcoats was impending, and when
it was finally produced its owners face
glowed with mellow radiance that was
infantile and touching. There was, just
before the holidays, period of gloom,
dependency and sorrow so heightened
and austcre that great apprehension was
felt, but it was cleared sway by the APP
pearance on Fifth avenue, one bright
December day, of about the most amaz-
ing thing in waistcoats that the century
has seen. 1t consisted in.the main of brill
liant yellow, with dashing superstruc-
ture of purple and gold stars. Scattered
about were fac SMILES of the owners

saw nearly hundred million dollars
in state of rapt and intense excitement
at chicken show one night in the Madi-
son Square Garden. Three great mill
ionaires sat around patent incubator
with their watches in their hands betting
on the eggs that lay under the glass plate.
Every few seconds an egg would break
and chick crawl out with an air Of
panied reluctance. Then the other chicks
would pounce on it Hospitality and try to
take away its ncw-found life. One OF
the three men would pick out likely egg
and the others would wager their money

being born and surviving the attacks of
its fellows.

In many instances, the richer the man
the simpler his idea of amusement. 1t is
no unusual sight to see one of New York's
rich men driving Fifth avenue stage up
or down town, with the regular driver
sitting calmly at Sis side, and have often
seen the son of the late President of the
Eighth Avenue Railroad Company drive
the big sixteen-horse sweeper down town
after heavy fall of snow. As everybody
knows, two millionaires drove a daily
coach from the Hotel Brunswick to Pei
ham every day last season just for amuse-
ment's sake, while two other affluent
members of the Knickerbocker Club
manned Third avenue car during the
hottest days of the strike and made the
trip to the city Hall and back in safety.

But the amusements of millionaires are
not all so innocent as these. One of the
most brutal and savage prize-fghts ever
saw was in the stable of man who owns
a magnificent country place on the Hud-
son. The men had fought to a standstill
and were clinging TO one another fecbly
TO keep from falling, while the blood
dripped from dozen wounds and their
faces were battered out of all human
semblance, but the crowd of pallid and
nervous moneyed men urged them pitt
lessly on. There are three well-known
New York club men of great wealth who
have no higher ambition than this.
Gifted with vast fortunes and in COM
mand of limitless possibilities, they have
no interests outside the doings of pugi-
lists, plug uglies and bruisers, and are
happiest when watching two fellow-men
struggling to see which can infllct the
most injury on the other.

A whimsical man of wealth amused
himself during the long nights last sum
mer by dining in his library and feeding
an army of cats that prowled about the
yard. lie would eat a little and then
hang out of the window with bit of
bird in his hand and converse at great
length with the cats while they struggled
and fought below, After tantalizing
them sufficiently he would toss the NOR
sci 10 them and then hug himself de-
lightedly while the cats clawed each other
in their efforts 10 get at the food. The
millionaire was always attended on such
occasions 10y Snug faced and reticeut
